About Us

We Built the Agency You
Wished Existed.

Influex started because creators kept getting underpaid, undervalued, and overlooked. We built the system that changes that for good.

Our Story

Born in the Creator Economy. Built for
What's Next.

In 2021, our founders were working on both sides of influencer marketing one managing creators, one running brand campaigns.

Creators were accepting lowball deals because they didn't know their worth. Brands were wasting budget on mismatched influencers because the data wasn't there.

Today we're a network of 50,000+ verified creators, a team of 40+ across LA and London, and the agency brands shortlist first when they want campaigns that actually convert.

Our Values

We're on the Creator's Side Full Stop.

No hidden fees, no brand bias, no vague promises. Just a team that wakes up every day thinking about how to get creators paid more and brands better results.

Creator First, And Always

Every product decision, every partnership, every policy we ask one question first: does this make things better for creators?
